cos u get it costly from website ...from dealers u can get it for much cheaper prices ..for instance 19" dell price on website in 9.7k without taxes so including taxes gets very costly ..but if u buy it from dealer u can get for about 9.6k ..inclusive of all taxes ...

with dealers u can get the products about 1% cheaper depending on the product ...

I need to get it as early as possible so I am thinking to buy it from local store. Is there any difference between Dell's Website and local store for buying it?

BTW I m using mercury motherboard (kobian PI845GLM) inbuilt graphics now.. Do I need to upgrade the graphic for using DELL SE198WFP?

Thanks

^^Right!!

Now on Dell's website, its costly as imgame2 said and u will get onspot delivery if u buy from dealer. Cheap price + Onspot delivery ..... so dealers are better.

Buy it ASAP..... its a really great monitor IMHO!

The Dell Monitors are better. Go for Dell SE198WFP, the build quality is also good & that base is really nice to have.
